Quick Start Guide

Introduction |3
All these authentic sounds become alive with KORG’s DNC (Defined Nuance
Control) system, allowing the performer to accurately and expressively in-
troduce the most subtle nuances and sound articulation. For example, the
joystick and assignable switches can introduce the growl of a saxophone,
breath elements found in trumpet, clarinet and harmonica, and add authen-
ticity to the pizzicato and bowed sounds of a string section. You will even
hear keys opening when saxophone notes are going up, and closing when
going down!
Listen the natural way
Each Pa700 sound go through separate EQs and studio-quality effect pro-
cessors, that further refine your sound before coming through high-quali-
ty stereo audio outputs. Effects run from the standard reverbs and delays
through to the more unusual effects (like a Vocoder), realistic amp simu-
lators and carefully recreated vintage effects. The final mastering effects
make the sound louder, clearer, fuller, and more polished.
The sound of the super high-fidelity integrated speakers is clear and detailed
even at the lowest volume level, for the pleasure of the late-night rehearsing
musician.
A band always ready to play with you
Ultra-realistic sounds in the Pa700 are always ready to play along with you,
in the music style best fitting your music. The high number of included Styles
will satisfy any music genre, but can also be expanded by adding new Styles.
You may also create your Styles, customize the existing ones, or easily con-
vert MIDI Songs to Styles.
There are eight accompaniment parts which will follow your chords. The
Auto Fill function will automatically choose a Fill for you. You can play in the
simplest way or with the rich harmonization of a competent jazz player. We
have programmed them to sound natural, and give you the feeling of a real
band, ready to play with you at any time.
The convenient Chord Sequencer function records your chord progressions
on-the-fly allowing the users to immediately play along with their own chord
sequence, which is useful not only for practice, but for freeing up a hand
while performing live. Chord Sequences can also be saved in Styles and
SongBook Entries for easy recall.
Play and write songs
You can play Songs in MID and MP3 formats. With both Songs and Styles,
you can show lyrics for the singer and chords for your fellow guitarist. Any
MIDI Song track can be converted into a readable score. Markers allow for
